8.5/10
Yogic Chai specializes in Chai blends (I know - it‘s in their name.) This isn’t the first time I’ve tried one of their tea’s and I plan on having some of their blends in my cabinet at all times. I have tried most of their teas and think they have the perfect combination of spices and herbs in their blends. On their website they have so many ways to get you interested in their teas it‘s almost overwhelming. They have interesting pictures, health information on all the ingredients in their blends, a variety of discounts and even some videos.On the package it tells how you can make it in a pan on the stove - although I didn’t do that this time, I have many times before and it does give it more depth.
The aroma of this blend is spicy, invigorating and smells strongly of fennel - I love the licoricy (is that a word?) aroma. There are nice size chunks of cinnamon, cloves, ginger, cardamom, fennel and of course the rooibos all of which are organic. The fennel comes though more after the water has been steeping for awhile. In the cup this blend smells like it’s going to be delicious and sweet - and it does. It tastes great It has a perfect combination of everything that makes a Chai good. I like that little tiny bit of smokiness from the rooibos that enhances the chai spices. I added some milk and honey and that made it even better. I had this overall feeling of warmth while drinking it and I enjoyed the comforting effects. This was also just as good iced. This is a great value.

Thanks for your review Kari
Although we do not mention this on the website, this blend is almost perfect for nursing moms…
It is naturally decaffeinated. Rooibos is known to be calming, fennel is known to be a galactagogue, meaning it helps increase milk production and I strongly believe that the spices in chai will help a baby/infant with digestive disorders such as colic.
Mama drinks the Rooibos Fennel Chai and baby gets the benefits through the breast milk. Mama feels nice and calm and so does baby
